I heard that if a ghost crab pinches your finger you can stick your finger into the surf and they will let go. That is not true! They hang on, pinching your finger with both claws. They let go when their good and ready. Inflecting as much hurt as they can. I have even begged them to let go and I told him that I would never do it again. Nope. Still hung on. They will even move their claws back and forth to make it hurt more. You mess with them, they will mess with you right back. When he did let go I flipped him off and said it didn't hurt, but I lied. It hurt like crazy! They will make you bleed. You can hear them snickering as they run off to find their burrow.
I saw two in Malta today. Unless its burrow was connected to two ends - which from the info in this clip it doesn't seem like it could be. If it was connected then he was popping up from two ends. I was fascinated I must say!
Beautifully filmed and I really didnot know a thing about them. A pity I was only 1 day longer in St. Lucia to see them going. Unfortunatedly we had to go back to Europ the day after because of an accident. Succes with your further study of them. Do they occur in Europ too? And last thing: You can join the Olympic team, so far you can jump!
That's so cool ! I see those ghost crabs all over the NYC beaches where I surf fish for bass & bluefish. Those ghost crabs can see you coming for over 50 feet from their burrows and they're fast and evasive. I've ran a few down and captured and released them. I caught one and released it and the crab ran into the wrong burrow and the other crab living down there cased him out, that was one confused crab he's lucky that I wasn't a hungry seagull - LOL ! I also found out the hard way that they pack a hard bite they're as strong as a bulldoze and they have to be in order to dig almost 3 feet deep into the sand where they make their homes. Fascinating Elusive Beach Dwellers Are The Ghost Crab's..
I was in I was imprisoned and I was repenting of my sins reading the Bible and jamiah and I started scrubbing my hands and scouring my hands trying to make the same go away showering opposite of CD
Hello, I am a student and was wondering if you would be comfortable sharing the rights to this video for a video on Animal Behavior for my lab? I look forward to hearing from you.
Cute little critters

I’m watching this as I’m sitting on the beach, waiting for one to pop out of its burrow so I can take pictures lol. They’re adorable.
I feel like the french narrator from spongebob could narrate this.
Ghost krabs look like Mr krabs

Haha don't mess with my bois #crabgang
Good imagination! That was hilarious!
Hm. Anytime we've caught ghost crabs they've never been bigger than a centimeter and they're claws are too small to pinch, do they get bigger? 🤔
@@brookehayes3455 They get up to half a foot on the Eastern Shore
😂😂😂
I like the way they tweaking and scurry.
When I was a kid I flood their burrows and watch them run out around the beach angry.
9:45 why do I feel attacked at this part of the video? Yeah totally, the burrow, most definitely the burrow and not anything else.
